Medical student engagement in menopause care audit and quality assurance: a learning experience

The General Medical Council states that doctors should 'understand and have experience of the principles and methods of improvement, including audit' [1]. Medical students can face barriers including lack of opportunity, hostile environments and inadequate training, resulting in lower participation in such projects [2,3]. At Northwick Park Hospital, London Northwest University Healthcare NHS Trust, we were able to support students to effectively contribute to audit and quality assurance, utilising experiential learning theory, with knowledge creation through the process of experience [4]. In this paper, we provide a narrative report of their perspectives on participating in the project and learning.
